And with the Flip, the Hunter became the Hunted. John Hunter leaves the game.

I knew coming into this season that I wanted the Rivalry between John and Sgt. Stagg to be key for revealing several things and moving several plotpoints along, but I also did not want it to last long, and of the two I had to cut John because his storylines could continue without him in the game, while I still had more in mind for Sgt. Stagg.

With John, I just had fun going all out with the redneck accent, and bordering on offensive humor with him but never crossing the line to make him a complete monster. He was always meant to be the bad one of the group, so the fact that several took his side is impressive, but hey thats the beauty of Survivor, its impossible to set a clear black and white rivalry.

But now that the Game has hit its first shake up. Time for Part 2 to begin.

great, now that the great leader left amd his alliance has gone and "part 2" is finally here it has been a really good season so far, I can see Adeline suffering, the couple and the siblimgs landing in thr same tribe, and the rest of tbe Uwassa leaving earlier than expected

@Vilecheese: Well, for one, this is going to blow the Desmond/Ivan rivalry wide open. For others, Desmond knows for a fact that Liz is no longer his puppet, that Thorne is someone to watch out for, and that Yukie could form an alliance effective enough to knock out his and Ivan's meatshield in less than 48 hours. Speaking of which, they need to attach themselves to a new meatshield, and will therefore be competing for marks.

Well, I called the opposite just 15 minutes or so ago when I read yesterday's comic, but the further I got into this one the writing on the wall became clearer and clearer. It was a lot of fun watching your redneck accent SWSU, and I'm really curious of Stagg's storyline to come.

@coolkyledude: Pft, what can he do? He won't be murdering (or even wounding) Stagg, because that's dark even for SWSU, he's not on the jury, he has no impact on the rest of the season save for Fallen Comrade speeches (which none of the surviving player will hear or care about) and a token mention at the winners' ceremony.

Well although I saw such a result coming because Diego was more likely to think with his heart instead of his brain it feels wierd that Hunter is gone. He sure got a lot of screentime for leaving as the fourth survivor and was a fighter but his Sgt. Stagg bashing would have annoyed us too much in the future so it was a good decision to let him leave now

It's definitely Adeline who will suffer the emotional breakdown, question is who will most likely cheer her up. As for the bitter enemy: This will most likely involve Desmond for losing Liz's support.

I must admit, I sucked in my breath when Liz said she's just thinking how it's "just a game." It's because of that though, I now think her storyline will be her becoming the attitudes toward strategy during Survivor's history. She starts out like a person in Borneo. Now she has reached an Africa-Marquesas type of attitude.

Because of this, I expect her to go far, but burn out TERRIBLY when she get's to Samoa. ;)

Diego, you are so awesome right now. Maybe he'll end up a legitimate player after all. Hunter was a fun unrepentant villain, but the game did need shaken up. Now Desmond and Ivan are going to be scrambling to regain the momentum while Stagg consolidates his power.
